dream about。〃
〃Do you think she cares? Did she ever love him?〃
〃He was her first love。 She loved him once with all her heart。 If it
would be right safe; I mean; to tell Dora〃
〃On this subject there is so much NOT to say。 I would never speak of
it。〃
〃It may be a truth〃
〃Then it is among those truths that should be held back; and it is likely
only a trick of my imagination; a supposition; a fancy。〃
A miracle! And of two miracles I prefer the least; and that is that Basil
is dead。 Your young preacher is a dream; and; oh; Tyrrel; I am so tired! It
has been such a long; long; happy day! I want to sleep。 My eyes are
shutting as I talk to you。 Such a long; long; happy day!〃
〃And so many long; happy days to come; dearest。〃
〃So many;〃 she answered; as she took Tyrrel's hand; and lifted her fur
and fan and gloves。 〃What were those lines we read together the night
before we were married? I forget; I am so tired。 I know that life should
have many a hope and aim; duties enough; and little cares; and now be
quiet; and now astir; till God's hand beckoned us unawares〃
The rest was inaudible。 But between that long; happy day and the
present time there has been an arc of life large enough to place the union
of Tyrrel and Ethel Rawdon among those blessed bridals that are
〃The best of life's romances。〃
